Fresh Science

Fresh Science is a national competition helping early-career researchers find, and then share, their stories of discovery.

The program takes up-and-coming researchers with no media experience and turns them into spokespeople for science, giving them a taste of life in the limelight, with a day of media training and a public event in their home state.

We run Fresh Science in every state where we secure operational funding. Interested in being involved? Please get in touch.
